As an actor, as you grow into where you fit in the industry, you're just trying to find the opportunities, hoping they grow and you get to do more.

Being an actor somehow can be a perverse extension of that feeling we generally all have as children, that feeling of wanting to please. Of course you're looking for affirmation, encouragement.

I don't know if it's a actor thing or just growing as an adult, but the best thing I've learned is that everyone wants to do a great job, and everyone wants you to do a great job, too!

And, you know, when you are a kid, everybody wants to be an actor. I think that everybody wants to be in show business, frankly.

Growing up an only child with a single parent is probably why I'm an actor.

As an actor, of course, you want to be in something that's successful.

The thing about being an actor is that you're in the business of not growing up.

You know, it's recently come into focus for me why I want to be an actor: It's because of the connection I feel to people.

Being an actor is just like being any other sort of self-employed person - we're all just happy to have a job in the first place, but we also thrive off the uncertainty of it.

Actors often behave like children, and so we're taken for children. I want to be grown up.
